Chapter 2075 How Did Warsaw Become Like This! ?
This Warsaw Uprising, which was experienced by Malashenko himself, was very different from the Warsaw Uprising in the existing history.
Because the leader division intervened in time and seized control of the Central Bridge of the Vistula River, the situation in the existing history that the Red Army was trapped on the east bank of the Vistula River for a long time, and repeated attempts to break through could only send at most battalion-level light infantry across the other side, and it was difficult to produce any qualitative change in the face of the German defense, no longer existed.
The Red Army of the brigade entered the city with heavy equipment, and the control of the Central Bridge of the Vistula River, which was strategically important, also fell into the hands of the enemy. This news was like a prairie wildfire. It didn't take long for it to spread to the ears of all the German siege troops in the east of the city, making the German army, which had been cutting melons and vegetables against the Polish ghosts, suddenly become nervous and worried.
Fighting street battles with the Russians in the city?
What a joke! ?
Every German soldier knows that the Russians have an absolute advantage in strength. In their main attack direction, they can even gather a force several times larger than their own to launch a fierce attack, and in most cases they also have an absolute advantage in technical equipment.
The enemy has good equipment and many people. Now that the Central Bridge has been captured, it means that the Russians' subsequent reinforcements will only arrive in greater numbers and rush into the city, and their equipment is likely to be much better than that of the Germans.
In this case, if the Germans fight to the death in a close-quarters battlefield such as street fighting, and compete with each other to see who has more troops and who can hold on to the end, the result can be said to be a foregone conclusion that the Germans will lose.
What's more terrible is that the disturbing situation is not limited to this. The situation outside Warsaw is not much better either.
The German field groups on the north and middle routes collapsed across the board. Rumors that the Great German Division had lost contact and was missing came from nowhere, but it did scare the already nervous German siege troops even more in the middle of the night. They were afraid that the Russians would come to them from inside and outside to lock them in the city, but at that time, even escaping was a luxury.
It was in such a situation that the German siege troops, who no longer wanted to fight the Polish ghosts and were afraid of being locked up in the city and becoming an unjust ghost, finally received the order from their superiors to retreat urgently and leave the city immediately at midnight when everyone was asleep. At the same time, they announced that they would give up control of Warsaw and abandon it.
The ecstatic German soldiers retreated overnight as if they had received an imperial decree, and they escaped successfully before more Soviet troops surrounded Warsaw from all sides, but the derivative follow-up was just beginning.
Although the Warsaw Uprising was severely damaged by the German army, it was far from losing as badly as in history. Its current situation can be basically summarized as "greatly damaged but still vigorous".
Faced with the empty eastern part of the city left by the German army after its retreat, the Warsaw Uprising, which was psychologically traumatized and embarrassed by the German army, soon realized after the initial suspicion that the Germans had really run away and would probably never come back.
As for why the Germans ran away at this moment when the great success was about to be accomplished, the Soviet troops that had already entered the west of the city and seized control of the Central Bridge were obviously the only reason for the German army to do so.
The senior leaders of the Warsaw Uprising were of course aware of this and knew that the Germans were definitely not driven away by their own side, but were scared away by the more ferocious Soviet Red Army.
However, sometimes even if you know the truth, you can't say it casually. The so-called facts are not convenient to tell at any time, especially at this special juncture, you have to find ways to tell them.
After quickly sending troops to occupy the empty city area left by the Germans, the well-prepared Warsaw Uprising Army immediately began to spread rumors in the city that "the brave insurgents and heroes of the motherland drove away the evil German fascists."
Out of so-called national self-esteem and some rather bizarre IQ levels, this rumor of "three people make a tiger" spread more and more widely and became more and more bizarre in the city.
With deliberate exaggeration, this outrageous rumor even evolved into many different versions.
Some said that the brave members of the uprising army descended from the sky, touched the roof of the house of the German city defense commander in the middle of the night, infiltrated, cut the neck of the sleeping Nazi general in the house with a knife, and retreated unscathed. The German soldiers who were beheaded in one stroke and were terrified by the powerful Warsaw Uprising Army that appeared and disappeared like ghosts, and immediately fled overnight without thinking, fearing that they would become the next target who lost their lives in a deep sleep.
Do you think this version of the rumor is outrageous enough? No, there are even more outrageous versions, such as the following one.
The long-defended Warsaw was an indestructible super fortress in front of the German army, with a stronger defense and more tenacious defense than the Russian Stalingrad.
The brave members of the uprising crushed the fascists' evil attacks again and again. The German commanders were at a loss, unable to sleep all night, and their blood pressure soared. In the end, they died of a sudden heart attack at the "invincible" Warsaw Uprising. The Germans, who were terrified, immediately ran away in a hurry and dared not fight again.
In short, these widely circulated and outrageous rumors are not limited to the above two. They are spread in various forms, which can be called a magical scene.
But no matter which version of the rumor it is, none of them takes the credit of the Red Army into account. It doesn't mention the Red Army's entry into the city, and only talks about how brave the Warsaw Uprising Army was, beating them with three or two blows of German sticks. He was pissed off, retreated, and could scare the enemy away in the middle of the night without taking any action. He was actually more awesome than Zhang Fei at the end of the long board bridge.
During the interview, Comrade Political Commissar collected several different versions of the rumors, and quietly recorded them based on the interviewees' descriptions. After writing them down on a notepad, he now showed them to the car. The comrade, the division commander who was sitting next to him in the back seat, looked over.
Malashenko never expected that things would develop like this, to such an outrageous level of magical realism.
"Damn it! How did Warsaw become like this!?"
He was so angry at the actual text recorded on the notepad that his eyebrows jumped. He felt that after all the hard work he had done, he was getting the better of the Polish guy who was still unappreciated. Malashenko was so angry that he screamed "Oops" Russian curses were blurted out in the car immediately.
"They don't even take the leader seriously! These are no longer ordinary Polish ghosts. These are obviously thugs! We must hit hard!"
